BOSTON -- Just when the Boston Bruins were playing some of their best defense of the season, they lose their No. 1 defenseman to an injury.Captain Zdeno Chara left with an unspecified injury after taking one shift in the second period during the Bruins 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.He did not join the Bruins on Wednesday for their flight to Ottawa to face the Senators on Thursday, and Claude Julien said the 2009 Norris Trophy winner was doubtful for Calgary on Friday.Chara has one goal and five assists in 19 games this season. His team-high 22:41 of ice time per game will also be difficult to replace.We just lost our best defender and teams hate playing against him, and thats the kind of impact hes got, Julien said. Now theres no individual thats going to step up and do his job more than were going to have to do it as a group.The Bruins received some positive news Wednesday, as defenseman Kevan Miller, who has missed the start of the season after fracturing his left hand, and forward David Pastrnak, who leads the Bruins with 10 goals, were cleared to play against Ottawa. Pastrnak had missed three games with an undisclosed injury.Both Miller and Pastrnak practiced on Wednesday.The Bruins have won four of their past six and eight of their past 12 games. Prior to their loss to the Blues, the Bruins had allowed two or fewer goals in five straight games, including four wins.Having Chara out of the lineup will put the onus not just on the defensemen, but the rest of the team to keep the opposition off the scoreboard.I think everybody together as a group has really come together and embraced our identity and the style of play that we want to emphasize and I think thats one of the reasons weve had success, defenseman John-Michael Liles said.Losing `Z is a big loss, but I think if we continue to play the style that weve really focused on the last little while, I think we can continue to have success.When the Bruins were without Chara because of a torn knee ligament during the 2014-15 season, they went 11-7-1.This time they will rely upon veterans such as Liles, Torey Krug and Adam McQuaid. Nineteen-year-old Brandon Carlo has thrived as Charas regular defense partner this season, and the rookie will have to figure out how to play without the captain.Carlo has two goals and two assists in 19 games and has averaged just 20 fewer seconds per game than Chara.Hes a pretty good player anyway, and he can still play in this league without Zdeno, Julien said.When youre missing your No. 1 defenseman, when youre playing with him, theres no doubt it affects you. But hes still a good enough player to overcome that.Air Max Plus Tn Red . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making.

I dont know if I slipped or something, but I ended up on the ground, said Soria (4-6), who squandered a comeback from a four-run deficit. Its frustrating.The Royals nearly pulled off another comeback.Dellin Betances (3-4) tossed two scoreless innings of relief for New York before Ben Heller loaded the bases with one out in the 10th. Chasen Shreve entered the game and calmly struck out Kendrys Morales and got Salvador Perez to fly out, picking up his first career major league save.I mean, it was really difficult, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of the mess Shreve inherited, which led to his first career major league save. He came in and really picked us up.Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer for the Yankees, while Ellsbury finished with two RBI.Morales went deep for the Royals to spur their comeback, then provided the tying sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. Jarrod Dyson and Lorenzo Cain also drove in runs for Kansas City.What these guys did, they fought to the bitter end, Royals manager Ned Yost said. We were down 4-0, battled back, tied the ball game under horrible conditions. It just wouldnt stop raining from the third inning on. We had the go-ahead run on second base. We just couldnt get it in.The Yankees built a 4-0 lead off Edinson Volquez by the third inning, only to watch it slowly slip away around a 59-minute rain delay that saturated the soggy turf at Kauffman Stadium.In fact, just about all that could slow down the Yankees Masahiro Tanaka was the rain.The right-hander mowed through the first eight batters he faced, extending the streak of 14 2/3 scoreless innings he had twirled in hhis last two starts.dddddddddddd Tanaka didnt allow a hit until a single by Raul Mondesi, who later scored on Dysons triple off the top of the wall.Tanakas only other mistake came on Morales homer in the fourth inning.The rain began falling and the tarp came out after the fifth inning, and the delay was long enough to end Tanakas night. He allowed two runs and four hits while striking out four without a walk.Its tough. I had enough energy so definitely I would have liked to go out there, Tanaka said through a translator, but you cant do anything about the weather.The Royals got within 4-3 in the sixth inning when Cain slapped an RBI double off Adam Warren, then they coaxed across the tying run in the eighth against Tyler Clippard and Betances.Clippard walked Cain to start the inning. Cain promptly stole second off Betances, and the throw from catcher Gary Sanchez squirted into the outfield, allowing Cain to reach third. He trotted home to knot the game 4-all when Morales lofted a sacrifice fly to center.Thats a game where you battle your tail off. You end up dont winning, so OK -- you come back tomorrow and find a way to win, Yost said. Its as simple as that.ROSTER MOVESThe Yankees optioned RHP Kirby Yates to rookie-level Pulaski and recalled Shreve from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
